Abstract
In this paper we discuss the interaction between economic development and the social and economic human rights. The UN and its specialized institutions work hard to ensure that human rights are respected, protected and fulfilled. The international community, however, does not have many instruments for the realization of rights as the international order is primarily built on the cooperation of sovereign states. The international economic organizations do not have formal mandates specifically addressing human rights, but do have mandates regarding economic development, and they have some real powers to enforce agreements under their auspices. This legal framework regarding human rights should ensure that developing countries actually reap a large share of the benefits of global economic development. The legalities of human rights should not, however, work as a straitjacket for the international institutions.
